This study reveals that Ignicoccus hospitalis uses a contractile CdvA-ESCRT-III ring to constrict its inner membrane, leading to multi-cytoplasmic clusters and subsequent release of progeny cells through outer membrane bursting.

This study determines the structure of a large S-layer protein from Pyrobaculum arsenaticum using cryo-EM and AlphaFold, revealing its unique multidomain architecture and evolutionary conservation.

The paper identifies tubulins in Asgard archaea and shows they form mini-microtubules with eukaryotic-like properties, suggesting an archaeal origin for microtubules.

This paper identifies an Asgard archaeon with an endomembrane system that changes with cell state, challenging previous views on eukaryogenesis.

This study shows mechanical compression induces tissue-like multicellularity in haloarchaea, forming structures with distinct molecular and mechanical features similar to eukaryotic tissues.

The paper introduces an image processing pipeline for electron cryo-tomography in RELION-5, enabling automated atomic model building from tomographic data.
